    Question

    Soham invested Rs. 32,000 partly in schemes ‘I’ and

    ‘J’ for 4 years and 6 years, respectively. Scheme ‘I’ offers simple interest at 18% per annum, while scheme ‘J’ gives compound interest (compounded annually) at 22% per annum. Find the investment in scheme ‘J’ if the interest from ‘I’ is Rs. 2,880 more than that from ‘J’.
    A Rs.18,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.15,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.25,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the investment in scheme ‘J’ be Rs. ‘v’. Investment in ‘I’ = Rs. (32000 - v). Simple interest from ‘I’ = (32000 - v) × 18% × 4. Compound interest from ‘J’ = v × [{1 + (22/100)}6 - 1]. Solving for ‘v’ with the specified interest difference, v = Rs. 18,000.
